Garcia has to play though, he's scored twice against that lot already. It's a midfield of Xabi Momo Gerrard and Garcia for sure

It seems Villareal loves a s**** defender. They've just signed Cygan apparently

Bring on Bordeaux. Bring on Vladi!

Kuyt's the new Keegan

Good. Unless someone suffers a leg break/head injury play should continue

It was the 01/02 season. Robbie has just had his big row with Thommo and the crowd wasn't happy about him not being named in the squad despite Heskey's injury, hence the chanting. Mind you he did not single handedly disposed of West Ham, scored a good goal though.

We'll see. I like Kromkamp as a player and he's a much better wingback than Finnan because he's the sort of an overlapping fullback who is eager to go forward IMO. Finnan is a very good crosser of the ball but he's nowhere near as athletic, if its a 442 Finnan would no doubt be first choice. If we're playing with wingbacks I know who'd be first choice for Rafa, the requirements of these 2 positions are very very different.

IMO Kromkamp is an 'option' for us when we play with wingbacks in a 5-3-2/3-5-2. He can get up and down the pitch much quicker than Finnan and is a better option for that particular formation.

There's no left back who performed better than Riise last season. In this league probably Heinze and Cole are better in that position

Shanghai came over to HK at the weekend to play an exhibition match, Jancker is slow as feck! Couldn't believe how far he's fallen ... poor player playing in a very poor side

Just got mine. Need to visit a second shop to get it as it was out of stock in the other! Sack Parry!!!

It was Rafa who shoved him. Rafa is da boss.

Am I a cretin for wanting to buy our new shirt then?

Doesn't seem to affect Asia though, can't believe the amount of people wearing the new Chelsea strip on the streets here in HK...

The quality of Chinese football is very very poor. The crowd should be good fun though. Former bitter Li Wai-feng is captain of the Shanghai side, so learn your chinese swear words before entering!

learn Chinese! FFS

He's been asking for a move for at least 3 or 4 times during his career at Chelsea, the timing has always been conveniently close to contract renewal time...
